IF. Cass, of Summit Lake, brings
US dozen eggs in six shells, or six
double eggs. He seems to have the
knack of inducing hens to lay and they
seem to have ''layed themselves out''
in this eggstraordinary effort. Are
there more such hens eggstant? We
eggspect this item will raise quite an
eggscitement among the hens and that
eggstra efforts will be put forth to
eggscel Mr.. C's hens.
We learn that Banker Dayton and
Major Thurber have had very sick chill.
dren during the past week. We can
sympathize with them fully as we have
had the same experience, but thanks to
Providence and the skill Of Dr.. War

are pleased to learn that the others are
also out of danger.

THE WINTER.
The predictions of the ADVANCE
made last fall and since about the win.
ter have been fulfilled, as they were
so frequently during that memorable
blockade winter, when it was common
to refer to each storm as the "AD-
VANCE BLIZZARD" But we have con-
stantly expressed the hope that we
shall be saved, by some turn in the
sea- on, from long blockades. The hope
expressed in a recent issue that there
might be a 'warm wave" brewing
somewhere in the heavens to cut short
the winter, has fair hope of realiza-
ton.
There appears now to be breakup
further south, and if it is the usual
spring thaw, we are safe. for it means
the curtailing of our winter by a
month. The Ohio river. we notice,
is bank full and overlooking, threaten
ing Cincinnati and other cities with
another disastrous flood. The ice has
also partly gone out of the river at To-
ledO, and the snow is abont all gone in
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and
Kansas.
1t looks favorable for an early spring
and the ground will he in splendid con-
dition to put in crops. Those who
have fall-plowed will have hit it this
time.
